minimum required defcon version? fontParts? robofab?

Open anthrotype opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

Extractor does not import defcon directly, so strictly speaking defcon is not an install_requires.

However, you can't do anything with it if you don't provide a defcon Font instance, or something that "quacks" like one ;)

Once we get to write some unit tests, we will at least need to add defcon among the test requirements.

Now, I have a few questions:

  • Does anyone know if the current extractor still works with Robofab RFont instances? If so, is this still a requirement for future versions (I hope not)?
  • Does extractor work with fontParts, and/or is it supposed to? If so, we need to test against that one too.
  • Does the current extractor depends on any specific version/revision/branch/commit/whatever of defcon? I'd assume or ensure it works at least with the only defcon version which we can reliably specify as a pip requirement (ie. version 0.2.0)

/cc @moyogo, @adrientetar, @typesupply, etc. and anybody who has used this more me.

No.
